The forward and reverse primers would be:5&rsquo;&hellip;GGCTAAGATCTGAATTTTCCGAG......TTGGGCAATAATGTAGCGCCTT &hellip;3&rsquo;CCGATTCTAGACTTAAAA--------------------------------------------------------------------- GCAATAATGTAGCGCCTT3&rsquo;&hellip;CCGATTCTAGACTTAAAAGGCTC.......AACCCGTTATTACATCGCGGAA&hellip; 5&rsquo;---------------------------------------------------------------------After one cycle of PCR we get 2 molecules of DNA. So after 6 cycles we get 26 = 64 DNA molecules.
